looked all life-iike. Not trace OF de-

hymn was sung by the Milwaukee So

then spoke In substance as follows:
It is now nearly nineteen centuries
since there came into the world one
whose name is household word, where
syeR civilization has shed its light.
Whatever may be our personal views of
Christ, we all know that he brought
most prominently to light two thoughts
which have been in the world since then.
One Is ablishes connection IN the
relationship between Us and eternal
gooj; tue other is the thought
of universal bro lie hood, for
if We only knew events and
circumstances of to. lay, we are YET
children of the infinite bound up in an
eternal destiny. As children of one
Father We are brethren all. NO man,
until the coming of Jesus, knew the Sc
Cret which broke down the narrow bar
riers of race and distinctions of place
And circumstances. When he came, the
world at large had no place for him.
In stable was his birth and in man.
ger his cradle. What shall | say con-
corning the civilization which boasts
his name to-dRyf AS We look back
over the long ages that have occupied
these niuteen centuries, We can take
heart and courage that his doctrine
of love Is yet alive, for in spite of much
forgetting, we still find in the loug
march of the centuries that there have
been faithful hearts, in which ages have
come to life the beauty and glory of His
teachings -self-sacrifice, fraternity and
love. But it is not all. Places of power
and of wealth had no room for Him
when H. came; but when He went,
what was it? He taught the world
divine fatherhood, When Jesus, teach
ing the Fatherhood, sddeG the leach
ins OF the universal brotherhood Of all
mankind, the PhaTiSees and priests,
soribes aud Levites, combiaed
with one accord to send Him
10 felon's death Jesus
taught practical fraternity. Thus
it is to study the welfare OF the poor
and oppressed rather than the one who
made advantage and profit, and for
this they cast him out. bu' the cross
upon which they hanged him became
the synonym of honor and glory. Ny
friends, has the world yet reached it's
ultimate of purpose, its highest OF
honor and of Development? Look on
these dead, and answer what even you
may say as to their methods.
The Judgment Of simple JUS
tice IS that their purpose was
he elevation of mankind, their
longing to bring i'll day of universal
broth hood and universal peace, and
the Warld has no. hing for these men
nut & e giboet. We take these lessons
TO heart. but DO not despair, for We
know that the cause for which men de
take root 10 the human heart and reach
upward and spread and cannot be de-
strOved. The lesson Of this hour was
given US in the words of that great
Teacner in the centuries gone. When
seeing the gathering of the storm OF
